I want consistently good service, no matter who provides it. I'd love to see more than one company providing that level of service, but I place far less value on that than I do on consistently good service.

I plan to try Lyft as soon as they either get their Android app upgraded for Marshmallow-style selective permissions (which they still haven't done a year after Marshmallow) or they provide a web app.

As soon as uber has a monopoly, you think they’ll continue their good service?

Because what you’ll get as soon as 2 or 3 companies control the market will be like the ISPs in the US.

Uber and Lyft are going to be the next Comcast, the next TWC; the next ATT, the next Verizon.
